Lithium

This is a really bad reproduction. Most of the compostion is cut off. And I took it with my crappy cheap digital camera. But nevertheless here it is.
This is the Elemental table project. We had to choose an element and create a scene based off of it. I chose Lithium. After doing some research I found out it is used for treating bipolar patients, and it is flamable. And I found a list of celebrities and other people in the public eye who have bipolar disorder.
This is what became of it. The posters in the back are lost in this reproduction. There's a Guns 'n' Roses poster, Reproduction of the Scream by Edvard Munch, a picture of Ozzy, a poster of The Mask with Jim Carry, a Lichenstein painting, a Nightmare Before Christmas Poster, and a still from Gone With the Wind.
The elemental number had to be somewhere in the composition, so the three is on the pill bottle although it's a bit cut off.
Lovely Lana was my model. Doesn't she look fantastically insane?

  1. Yeah, she really does.
    Is it really that much darkness in the real thing or is that just the picture?

  2. there is a lot of darkness in the real thing, but this picture washes out all the tones. There's actually a lot more color variations in here that didn't show up. and this piece actually has since been reworked.
